Yes, you should use packages. You normally shouldn't need to set the `current-library-collection-links` parameter, though. Installing a package will add to the links that are read via `current-library-collection-links` > In the mean time I'd like to add the collection path. > ----------- > Currently, > When I open DrRacket and run: (current-library-collection-paths) it returns: > '(#<path:/home/don/.plt-scheme/4.2.1/collects> > #<path:/home/don/.racket/8.1/collects> #<path:/home/don/racket/collects/>) > which is correct and no problems, however > when I click on a .ss file in the file-manager, the file is opened in > drracket v.8.1 but > (current-library-collection-paths) returns only: > '(#<path:/home/don/.racket/8.1/collects> #<path:/home/don/racket/collects/>) This is really a question about how your OS deals with environment variables and programs that you launch through its graphical interface.

Although it's not the way Racket programmers normally work, there is an option within DrRacket's GUI: Open the "Choose Language..." dialog from the "Language" menu, then select "Show Details". There's a configuration panel roughly in the middle of the right-hand side for adding collects paths. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
